Real nice, Thank You!!

I have been thinking about Steeroids, does you're car feel like a modern car with R&P steering now and how is the steering effort, does it feel like real power steering?

There is no question that the car steers easier and more responsive. I did not replace my original pump so I am still using the 30+ year old original. I expect that with a new pump I would even notice more improvement. Steering is quicker, the turns lock to lock are less than with the original system. Because at the same time I installed the Steeroids kit, I also installed the monospring kit so I made two major changes at the same time so it is difficult to know what impacted the handling most.

documentation is good !

Remember that even though you have fewer turns lock to lock, you also have a larger turning circle. You steering rate is the same.

at least mine was, there may be more than one rate.

I have adjusted the steering stops on my control arms to give me the same turning radius that I had with the original system. I did not mention that in my document as I knew the majority would be using the original control arms.
